Star Wars Dessert Party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney has recently started offering VIP Experiences with special themes, so there’s something for everyone. If you’re a big Star Wars fan, the Star Wars Dessert Party might be a good option for you!

I got to attend this dessert party courtesy of the nice folks at Disney media relations, and I want to share my experience with you!

Star Wars Launch Bay

Enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios with your valid admission, then check in to the party. The party begins at the Star Wars Launch Bay. Your ticket will give you a check-in time, but you can check in early, so plan to arrive 30-45 minutes before your check-in time.

The Star Wars Dessert Party takes place inside the Star Wars Launch Bay.

Once you arrive and check in, you’ll be given a lanyard and access to an exclusive area just for party guests. The Launch Bay is open to the public during the party, but only guests with the lanyard are allowed to go in and out of this area.

The back of the lanyard tells you everything you can access inside and outside of the dessert party including the menu highlights, the Launch Bay Theater, the Celebration Gallery, meet and greets with Chewbacca and Kylo Ren, and more.

The Food

The Star Wars Dessert Party has some of the best desserts and drinks of all the dessert parties not only because they taste great but because they really fit the Star Wars theme.

Special desserts include a a Darth Vader chocolate peanut butter cupcake and warm bread pudding with a toppings bar. There were plenty of flavored mousse domes and a variety of flavored cookies too.

The bread pudding was great, especially when topped with ice cream.

Top your desserts with chocolate candies!

The desserts are beautiful!

Check out these raspberry mousse domes!

You’ll find delicious cupcakes at the dessert party!

It may be called a dessert party, but there are other snacks too like fruit, cheese, charcuterie, roasted red pepper hummus, black bean dip with sriracha sauce, and smoked sea-salted flatbread.

The Star Wars Dessert Party offers plenty of fresh fruit.

You’ll also find delicious cheese and charcuterie.

The sea-salted flatbread is delicious!

The Drinks

The cost of the dessert party includes all of your beverages, and there’s a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available.

The adult beverages are crafted and served by a bartender, and they really fit the theme!

For those not interested in alcohol, you’re not limited to just soft drinks and water; there are two punches: Lunar Lemonade, which is watermelon lemonade, and Jettison Juice, which is passion orange guava juice with mango syrup.

Is it worth it?

Tickets for the Star Wars Dessert Party are $79 for adults and $45 for kids ages 3 to 9. This cost is in addition to your valid park admission, but it includes all of your drinks, desserts, snacks, a commemorative lanyard, a novelty Star Wars souvenir (usually a plastic Darth Vader stein), and reserved viewing for Disney Movie Magic and the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular fireworks show.

Most of the dessert parties in Disney World have tables, and some of them have chairs, but the tables are usually first come, first served and are high-top tables without chairs. The Star Wars Dessert Party offers assigned tables with chairs. This is a really nice touch, so you can get some time off your feet!

Each guest is reserved a table and seating, so you don’t have to stand all night!

The value in this party is found in the variety of food and drink offered and the time you save by not having to snag a spot well in advance of the party. In fact, you’ll only be waiting for about 15 minutes before the show starts, and you’ll enjoy some of the best viewing for this show.

If the Star Wars Dessert Party sounds like something you’d like to do, you can book your Advanced Dining Reservation 180 days in advance on Disney World’s website.
